The Making Of Midiosyncrasy:
1 Clinger and Goff each compiled five audio mp3 files of about thirty seconds in length. Clinger's files contained the sounds of fire burning, koto plucking, electronic keyboard pulsing, diners dining, and Sallymae Hogsby speaking. Goff's files contained the sounds of geese honking, records skipping, oscillators oscillating, guitar looping, and Ronald Reagan and Vin Scully talking baseball.
2 Goff converted the ten mp3s into twenty midi (mid) files of about fifteen seconds in length.
3 Clinger and Goff used the twenty midi files as building blocks to each create approximately ten minutes of sonic composition. Clinger created five individual pieces; Goff created four. The midi files were mixed, matched, and manipulated by the composers in a number of ways. Alterations were made to the original orchestrations, timings, arrangements, virtual instruments, etc. No sounds produced from any sources other than the original twenty midi files were added to any of these pieces during composition.
The results are the nine compositions presented here. Each piece of the Midiosyncrasy collection has its own distinct sonic qualities, yet the collection as a whole exhibits a continuity based on its unique compositional style.
